B Movie Breakdown

*WARNING SPOILERS* Since we are in the midst of a month long Sequel-A-Thon, we absolutely could not ignore the biggest sequel of all time: Avengers: Endgame. We know it's not a "B-Movie" by any standards, but since we spent the past 10 years of our lives inside the Marvel Cinematic Universe there was no way we could ignore it. Not only do we dive deep into the entire MCU, but we also get into the Netflix side of the MCU as well. So if you haven't seen any of those shows and still want to, you have been warned of spoilers for those as well.

We continue our Sequel-A-Thon with a special guest, Sir Dan, joining us this week to discuss Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II. It may have an absurd title and be an absurd movie, but it's absurd in all of the best ways possible. We kid you not, this movie is actually worth watching and we strongly recommend you do so on Amazon Prime Video. We are also well aware that HDTGM just did this on their podcast, but we had no idea that was going to be a thing at the time we decided on doing this film and are in no way trying to ride their coattails. We can't help we have the same great taste in movies.

This month on the podcast it's our very own sequel-a-thon, as we are watching nothing but, well, sequels. We kick off our sequel-a-thon with the pure ripe perfection that is Return Of The Killer Tomatoes! Set ten years after the events of Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (referred to as the "Great Tomato War"), the United States is once again safe, and tomatoes have been outlawed. However, trouble returns as the dastardly Professor Gangreen and his assistant Igor seek to unleash yet another wave of tomato terror.

We here at B Movie Breakdown don't always get to discuss movies as well made and serious as Nona. Don't get us wrong, we love all of the bad and awesomely bad movies we watch on here, but it's a breath of fresh air to watch something so moving. This week we had the pleasure of watching Michael Polish’s multi-winning drama, ‘Nona’, starring Kate Bosworth and Sulem Calderon. Touching on illegal immigration and human trafficking, ‘Nona’ showcases the unbound limits a young girl is willing to go for freedom.

This week we are discussing not one, but two movies! That's right folks, it's an April You Call It Double Feature! We continue down our path of movies created by those who have contact the show with two short films. In our first film, Nicholas Michael Jacobs gives us a glimpse into the darker side of web camming in Night; which is available on Amazon Prime Video. And in our second film, Al Lougher shows us the lengths a family will go to in order to bring back their lost son with The Dollmaker; which is available on the Alter YouTube channel.

All across the country, a new drug is taking over the streets, coating them in blood, vomit, and other less savory fluids. Spunk’s Not Dead, and it never will be unless we spread the word. From an innocent babysitter who takes her first hit of spunk to longtime spunk junkies, this drug is turning the world upside down. Only you can stop the White Menace! The best defense is education, and the six eye-opening stories in this anthology will make sure that you stay off spunk for the rest of your life. Special thanks to friend of the show Zach Carter, the genius behind The Unquenchable Thirst for Beau Nerjoose (discussed in Episode 166) and The Devil's Spunk in this week's film, for sharing this with us. 

THE PRINCIPAL, starring Jim Belushi, is an overlooked vigilante origin story. It's as simple as that. Rick Latimer is a worn down, out of luck drunk who isn't good at his job and just lost his wife. Little does Rick know, his life is about to get a swift kick in the ass when he is assigned to be THE PRINCIPAL at the worst school in the district: Brendell High. Brendell is where they send all the burnouts, criminals, and rejects from all of the other schools, needless to say Rick has his hands full. Not only does Rick have the perfect backstory, but he also has everything a start up vigilante needs: a vigilante name, a custom vehicle and helmet with that name on it, a signature weapon, and a sidekick who even has his own backstory. Now all we need is to see more adventures of The PRINCIPAL.

When inspiration struck during last weeks episode, we had no idea it would lead us to a VHS transfer of our new favorite Christmas movie courtesy of Amazon Prime Video. In Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe, Jesse "The Body" Ventura acts and narrates his journey to hunt down fellow "finder" Secundus before he can discover the solution the Anti-Life Equation! It's Abraxas Vs Secundus in the ultimate no holds barred match in the arena we know as Earth!

It's time for the B Movie Breakdown and The Reversal to finally cross streams and what better way than with an over the top short film that leads into an even more absurd and grueling wrestling match! This week on the podcast(s) not only are we discussing WCW's The White Castle Of Fear mini movie from 1993, but we are also going beyond the film and into the match that follows: Sting Vs Vader in a White Castle Of Fear Strap Match from WCW Superbrawl III. This is a perfect crossover episode for B Movie and wrestling fans alike! If you have the WWE Network, both the mini movie and match are available on there, otherwise at the very least the mini movie is available on YouTube. 

When three kids, that's right kids, are murdered by a local gang, the friendly neighborhood Hatiian voodoo priest re-animates their shrunken heads to exact revenge. But when complications arise between one of the heads and his former "girlfriend" things don't go exactly as planned. Thanks to one stinky listener, we watched the 1994 Full Moon Features film Shrunken Heads and boy was it something else for sure. We have definitely never seen anything quite like this before.
